Abstract

Desmoplastic ameloblasotma （DA） is classified as a rare variant of ameloblastoma.<br>We report a case of DA recurring in the soft tissue of maxilla. The patient was a 66-year-old man who visited our department because of swelling of the right cheek and maxillary gingiva. Biopsy of the soft tissue suggested an odontogenic tumor. The tumor was surgically removed with the patient under general anesthesia. DA was diagnosed on histopathological examination of the surgical specimen. After 3 months, we detected recurrence at the excision site, and extirpation was performed immediately. The postoperative course has been uneventful as of 20 months after surgery.
